God Help Me

God Help Me! was written to help people cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. I am not educated but have lived with it most of my life.

Some estimates feel as many as 150,000 Vietnam Veterans have committed suicide since the war. Thirty percent of Vietnam Veterans have PTSD. Eleven to 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from it. 70 Percent of all suicides are of veterans 50 and older. A veteran commits suicide every 65 minutes.

Our government wastes so much money on stupid things why can't they do more for our veterans who sacrificed so much for us. If we lose one veteran to suicide we have all failed.

God Help Me! was written to help a mother and father better understand what their son or daughter may be going through. It may help a wife better understand her husband. Some veterans do not understand that their problems are combat related.

Profits from this book will help to start a world wide website where a veteran mentor may be matched with a veteran who needs mentoring. This system does work and who better to understand a veteran, and his problems than another veteran.
